Abstract
Abstract. Digital heritage comprises a broad variety of approaches and topics and involves researchers from multiple disciplines. While the use of digital methods in the text-oriented disciplines dealing with cultural heritage is widely discussed and canonized, an up-to-date investigation on cultural heritage as a scholarly field is currently missing. The extended abstract is about a three-stage investigation on standards, publications, disciplinary cultures as well as scholars in the field of digital heritage, carried out in 2016 and 2017. It includes results of a workshop-based survey involving 44 researchers, 15 qualitative interviews as well as an online survey with nearly 1000 participants. As an overall finding, a community is driven by researchers from European countries and especially Italy with a background in humanities, dealing with topics of data acquisition, data management and visualization. Moreover, conference series are most relevant for a scientific discourse, and especially EU projects set pace as most important research endeavours.
Highlights
Digital heritage comprises a broad variety of approaches and topics and involves researchers from multiple disciplines
Even if there is a wide scope of topics addressed, most of these are around data in terms of data acquisition and management, visualization or analysis
Digital heritage as scholarly area is primarily defined by publication bodies, repositories and projects
Summary
Digital heritage comprises a broad variety of approaches and topics and involves researchers from multiple disciplines. On a more operational level, disciplines are characterised to „(a) have a particular object of research [...], (b) have a body of accumulated specialist knowledge [...], (c) have theories and concepts [...], (d) use specific terminologies [...], (d) have developed specific research methods [...], and (e) must have some institutional manifestation in the form of subjects taught at universities or colleges [...]” (Krishnan, 2009). Against this background, my research is intended to investigate a range of digital heritage studies with regards to the following questions:
